Things looking a bit different today? If you're a regular visitor to guardian.co.uk/music, you'll notice we've made some changes to the site. Partly, this is just an aesthetic revamp, the equivalent of Lady Gaga swapping a frock for a meatier dress, and partly it's because we wanted to put more emphasis on some of the things we do.

Firstly, you'll probably clock the picture/story shuffle thing, which replaces the more static Editors' Picks component: this, we hope, is a more attractive way of displaying the stories we hope you'll enjoy most each day, which could be news and reviews, but also the long-form features and opinion pieces that represent the best of the Guardian and Observer's award-winning journalism. The images you see will cycle through twice – or hover your mouse over any story and its picture will take centre stage.

Also, we're putting more emphasis now on community – you, in other words. We're amazed every day by the passion and expertise that readers bring to the site, through their comments on various threads. With our new look, we want show off what you have to say to a much greater extent. And, through blogs such as this, and in my role as guardian.co.uk/music community co ordinator, I'll also be asking you to tell us more about what you like and don't like about what we do.

On this note: it's important to say that some of this remains a work in progress. Earlier this summer, we launched our new artist and album pages – which let you find out a wealth of information about more than 600,000 artists and also review, yourself, any one of more than 3m albums. The problem then was that we didn't have a proper search function to find the artists, but we fixed that (it's now on the top right of the site). We're also giving more prominence to reviews you've written.

So in the same vein, we'll keep tinkering and improving things (changing the look of our multimedia component, for instance) and the site will continue to evolve.

There are also some other small changes and additions: we've started a new blog that should nicely complement our New Music blog (guess what you think it might be called), and we've added a new component to the left-hand side of the page to show off music articles from other sites that we think you might like to read. I'm the person to tell if there's something you've read that we should mention – you can do that in the comments section, or by tweeting me via @guardianmusic.

So, these changes are about showing off the best of what we've done at the same time as trying to broaden our coverage, and key to that is hearing from you. Let us know what you think in the comments below.
